Valentine Videos: One Snarky, One Sincere

Two videos today. A snarky video debunks fear-mongering. A sincere video is about love.

A good pair.Snarky

Let's start with the snarky video. I want to introduce you to Thunderf00t, maker of in-your-face videos laughing at people who are reality-challenged about radioactivity. This is a typical video.

Unfortunately, half his videos seem to be pro-atheism, and they make fun of religion. When he makes fun of the religion "nuclear is the worst thing in the world," I am okay with that. "Anti-nuclear" is a religion of sorts, in my opinion.

However, when Thunderf00t makes fun of regular religions-- well, I believe in free speech, but I don't like the videos. Just sayin'. Do watch his pro-nuclear videos.

"Fukushima mutated my cat" is one little Valentine present to those who read the blog.

Sincere

My husband sing in a Barbershop group. So, as usual, I am spending Valentine's Day alone while he sings love songs to other women.

Okay. Don't feel sorry for me. We had our fancy dinner with red wine and a terrific box of chocolates last night. That is pretty traditional, for the wives of men in Barbershop groups.

A video of sweet love songs is my other little Valentine present to those who read the blog.

I actually cooked the dinner at home, but it did include red wine and a lovely box of chocolates. It wasn't that expensive overall.

Getting sacked is a terrible thing. It is a big deal. I am constantly sorry this is happening. I did everything in my own small power to prevent it. Throwing people out of their homes and jobs. Losing community and friendship and financial security, all at once. A huge source of stress and sorrow.

However, in my opinion, there IS always something to celebrate. Health. A loving family. Beautiful snow. There are still blessings.
